Let me introduce myself – My name is Annie and I am a paper snob. I have been designing invitations and developing my snobbery for paper for the past seven years. I have recently taken the plunge and started my own company, 5 by 7 designs. I specialize in custom invitations but I am also creating a ready to order line of holiday cards, invitations, and stationery on Etsy ::insert gratuitous plug::
I live in Dallas, Texas with my husband, Dafydd. We have been married 3 years and still have no clue what he does at his real job.
We have a one-year old, named Bryn ::insert picture of the cutest baby ever:: Yes, Bryn is a boy with a girl name. Good thing he is big (and ridiculous good looking).
And our first baby Shiner Bock, who is still wondering when we will be taking Bryn back.
So that’s it folks. I have created this blog to share what I love in the world of paper + life. I hope you enjoy (and get my sense of humor)!
paper love,



So excited for you and your new venture, Annie! You’re so talented and I have no doubt you will do AMAZING! I can’t wait for future blog posts! You CRACK. ME. UP! 🙂 xo
I need to update my stationary collection…let me know when you have things up and running! And i think Bryn is very cute…reminds me of you when you were just a wee one!
